Our auction has unearthed a TRULY RARE original Family Dog flyer. It was a last-minute promotional item made on the fly for the FD-109 event. It is one of the RAREST Family Dog items that we've ever handled!

This flyer and several other designs were quickly created on a mimeograph machine because of a production delay for the 109 cards. According to reports, the FD-109 card did not go out to the mailing list so this flier and the others were used for last-minute promotion. They were not mailed out but were posted and distributed to select drop-off points.

This find was unearthed from a larger lot that was sold in the Heritage Auctions August 2020 Entertainment Auction. This one was extracted from a larger grouping of the 109 alternate flyers. The Heritage listing stated that the promotional item came from Family Dog Co. founder Bob Cohen's collection.

The piece is cataloged in poster historian Eric King's guide as FD-680308C, and this one here is the FIRST CGC graded example we have ever offered!
